Mission Statement Review Invitation & Schedule
Your participation in the University's Mission Statement Review process will be greatly appreciated as the discussion regarding UTC's purposes will guide important aspects of our campus' present and future including academic program considerations and the budgeting of resources to support the mission and the goals and objectives to be developed later in support of its implementation.
The schedule of the presentations by the UTC Chairs of Excellence and the subsequent dialogue described by Chancellor Stacy in his email messages has been revised to facilitate greater participation. The Mission Statement Review Steering Committee members hope that you will be able to join in these sessions and in the commentary on the chairs' observations.
